IIVS: Respiratory laboratory equipped with new in vitro test system Featured

The American Institute for In Vitro Sciences (IIVS) has currently opened a laboratory for in vitro respiration studies. To start inhalation toxicology studies, IIVS received a in vitro exposure system. With the new device, the scientists want to investigate the effects of new cigarette products, such as the next generation heat-not-burn systems and e-cigarettes on human lung cells.

The inhalation exposition system was developed by the company Vitrocell, located in Waldkirch (see InVitro+Jobs work group). The device was donated by PISC, The International Science Consortium of the animal rights organization PETA.
